JOURNALISM.
Journalism in the South is much
m6redifflcult than appears without
Bome' reflection. A Newspaper here
in the South is expected to be found
in the family circle; in the homes of
the refined and cultivated and is ed
ited with that view. This being the
Case, nothing improper to De carried
into those houses should be admitted
Into the columns of such papers, and
yet they must have the news of the
day-fresh and crisp
. Th creat dailies of the North.such
as the New York Herald, World and
others, are not edited with a view of
meeting the wants of the refined
home circle, but of meeting the coarse
abnormal demands of business and
sporting circles for the sensational
news of the day.
Having our attention drawn in this
direction we gave the New York Star
of tne S4d, a look over, to see wnat
the nature of its news items were.
We found one murder, five suicides,
twelve robberies and nineteen scan
dals, all painted up in high colors
and each occupying ample and prom -inerit
space in Keeping with the im
portance with which it is regarded
by the editor. And to each case is
accorueu importance iu tuo iuiuu vi
tne editor in proportion to tne extent
to which it will please the readers.
Now this is the strait to which we
' dews? like all imported goods from
foreign countries, must come first to
New York and from there distributed
"tmwnffn out the countrv. Tne rress
IfiBpatch Associations are located
North Jand collect for the Northern
mslrket and distribute from there, so
that outside of politics, eight tenths
of it is of that undesirable, character,
to say the least of it.
. This state of facts render the col
lecting of news for a Southern jour
nal much more difficult and expen
sive than one would suppose.
Sometimes the papers are accused
of being two sensational, but what
are they to do. If they reject the
news that is furnished, they will have
no news. The tendency, however, of
all this is to educate in an unfortu
nate direction.
GRAVITATION.
So Facts Connected with It
Th'at Are Not Generally
Known.
Exchange.
Gravitation is a subject that nearly
everybody is somewhat familiat with,
says the Philadelphia Times, but
there are some things about it that
- yon may not krrow. For instance.
suppose you were weighed at the top
of a deep coal mine and afterward at
the" .bottom; do you suppose there
would be any difference in the ref hit ?
Tes' there would You would be
lighter at the bottom. If it were pos
Bible for you lo go onclowiiward 2,(00
miles in the earth aud there be
weighed you would be surprised to
find your weight ouiy one half what,
' is was, at the surface, and if you could
go to the ceuter of the earth you
Twtfttldn't'weighan ounce, i,,:
jTnia"5 is bScause ' the center of the
eartb: is -Jthi center of its attractive
r tJbweri which is exerted equally in al
HfHrSotaons ( If ryoa ascend fr6ui the
center of the earth your weight will
Also decrease, batnot in the same
ratio as when you descend. In going
upward the decrease will be in pro
portion to the square of the distance,
, Thus, while you would weigh noth
ing if you should go downward 4000
miles from the surface you would ttill
weigh one fourth your actual weight
if you could weigh yourself 4000 miles
up in the air. .
The law of gravitation is at once
the strangest and the most sublime
in all nature. Light travels at the
amazing rate of 186 000 miles in a
second. There are visible stars so far
away that if one were blotted out at
this instant it would be seen on this
earth thousands of years hence, be
cause the ways of light, starting now,
would take so long to reach us even
at the wonderful velocity at which
they travel. But if a new star were
now placed out there in the depths of
space, where the blotted out one was,
its attractive force would reach us in
stantly. That strange force, which
dominates the universe, would at
once be felt, though of course inap
preciably, between the new star and
our earth.
Gravitation differ from all other
forces in another respect. 'I he inter
vention of bodies in the line of at
traction make no difference in the at
tractive force exerted. For example,
when the moon comes in direct line
between the earth and the sun there
is not the slighest difference in the
reciprocal attraction between the two
former. The enormous power of this
attractive force is utterly inconceiv
able. We are constantly reminded of
the power the earth has in pulling us
downward, but think of the r.ttrac
tive power of a body like the sun,
more than a million times larger than
the earth. And this power controls
every speck of light that we see in
the heavens.
THE DEAD KINK
Ills Remains Embalmed aud
Sent Home.
The remains of the late King Kala-
kana of the Sandwich Islands who
died in San Francisco last week were
embalmed and placed in a metal cas
ket hermetically sealed and conveyed
to Mortuary Chapel of Trinity church
where they were guarded by a detail
from the United States army force at
that point. The remains did not lie
in state.
At 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon
the funeral services took place at
Trinity Church. The remains were
then escorted byTJnited States troops,
Second Brigade California National
Guard and various Masonic bodies to
the wharf, where they were officially
received by Bear Admiral Brown and
conveyed on board the flagship
Charleston, which came down from
Mare Island. The Charleston was to
sail for Honolulu at 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. Colonels McFarlane
and Baker and the kings' personal at
tendants accompany the remains.
The present cabinet of the dead
King of the Sandwich Islands, it is
understood by those familiar with the
affairs of that country, will continue
to hold their portfolios until removed
by a legislative vote. General Hart-
well, who recently visited the king,
says he left him in good spirits, much
pleased at the cordial manner snown
by the people of the f acme coaBt in
receiving and entertaining him, and
he fully expected to return home in
better health.
News by the steamship Australia
just arrived from Hololulu, states
that great preparations are being
made in Hawaii for the reception of
the king. There was to be a grand
review of troops, a popular ball and
general fete. Rodgers, the noted
horse trainer, had begun before the
Australian left to exercise four beau
tiful white horse, driving them twice
a day from the dock around the
streets of Honolulu aDd to the king's
palace. The natives will not learn of
the king's death until his remains ar
rive in ' Honolulu. This morning a
certificate of death was filed in the
health office. It is the first official
record of the death of a sovereign in
the United States which had ever
brert tiled.
